XBA: The Spear of Telesto

[Dont-Be-Haten]

Off topic, how do you change the thread title? On topic; looking Ace!

[Charlo]

Edit the first post in a topic. Use the full editor :)

Nice work! How big a force you got now?

Good question! The very first post has a list of all my painted models, while the pile of shame thread has all the unpainted! The amount of "made but not painted" blood angels is about 10 sniper scouts!

 

Edit:

 

After a quick count it's about 5500pts fully painted,and before upgrades

Impressive! I need to count mine up one of these days - I might surprise myself!

Surprise/Horror. One of the two :D

 

I'm going to have to get a full squad photo when I get the highlights on my last lot of tacticals done.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[Xenith]

Excellent work.

 

Hey, thanks for stopping by!

[Xenith]

Update:

I present the Baal Class Predator: 'Iron Faith'

Since then I've actually painted the front Icon a lighter white, and added the inscription "Pyros" to the front scroll.

[appiah4]

Saw the title, misread as Balls on Fire.  Clicked in excitement, walked out disappointed.  Not sure what I was expecting.

[Xenith]

After finishing most of the Baal, I got back to work on Kaspar, including a little freehand:

The chapter symbol became much larger than I thought, and rather than constrain or cut it off, I thought I would just extend it around the shoulder. I'm going to try and be a bit more...'arty' with the BA. I'm still looking for ways to push myself. This is the largest freehand piece I've done, and I think it turned out ok, I pretty much did it in one go after studying how the other angel wings on the carapace were sculpted.

I also painted the magnagrapple skavenblight dinge, which is about the colour of ferrite magnets, and tried some Luthermax style blending on the red saltires to add some depth. I think they turned out ok also.

Thanks for looking!

He looks fantastic! Love the wraparound chapter badge!

[Xenith]

Thank ye!

 

Not much time for painting this weekend and only managed some highlights on Kaspar's shin armour.

 

Looking at some of the threads, I'm thinking of making the second assault squad in my company foot based, with a rhino/pod - does anyone have experience/fluff stickiness about what to equip their squads with in a full company?

[Xenith]

So, my entry in the Great Baalite Bake Off:

Captain Raxiatel of the 6th Company, Caller of the Fires

As you can see, there's a few wings on him. I count 17 in total.

This was the most intensive kitbash I've done in a while, and it was pretty rewarding, thanks to Jole for organising, and I look forward to the next one I enter into the GBBO.

[Charlo]

More angles! (Or more Angels?!)

[Xenith]

They're all in the GBBO thread, I didn't want to cross post

[Xenith]

And the as of yet un-named predator:$

2nd/3rd edition metal parts on a current rhino model, with extras from Sanguinary Guard. I've since addedsome more gubbinz from the Venerable Dread sprue.

[Grazcruzk]

Great looking pred! The death masks are a really unique touch. Are the overcharged engine bits done with a press mold? Looks like they came out really well.

[Xenith]

Exactly that, the details are not especially sharp on the vents, but they're fit for purpose.

[Jolemai]

:wub:

[Charlo]

I think I have some of those parts lying around.... May Nedd to try this.

[Xenith]

I managed to get some red on it last night, you can see the added battle honours in all their glory. The top panel isn't glued so I can paint the inside.

Old school cool.

[LutherMax]

I really like the death masks on the side!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Are you using a Chimera turret on the "hybrid Predator"? It looks undersized on the Predator hull.
